More about Reba

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have a warm and welcoming approach. I like to emphasize client's previous successes to show that the presenting issue can be overcome as well. I practice affirmations and do breathing and other exercises with the clients. I believe in an interactive approach and check-in that the client's needs are being met. I use CBT and a strengths-based approach because I find that these approaches are effective in helping clients create long lasting changes.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
